There’s been a crash at the junction of Lyde Road and Meadow Road in Yeovil.

There are currently no reports of injuries or fatalities, and it is not clear how many vehicles are involved.

We’ll keep you posted.

Travelling further afield

There are restrictions on the M48 Severn Bridge in both directions due to string winds. Restrictions are in place between J1 A403 ( Aust ) and J2 A466 Wye Valley Link Road (Chepstow).

All traffic is coming off the motorway, around the roundabout and then back onto the carriageway. These are regular restrictions in case the bridge needs to be closed quickly due to strong crosswinds. The bridge itself is still open.

Men who firebombed Wincanton home escape jail

The pair have admitted petrol bombing a house in Wincanton

Two men who firebombed a home in Wincanton last year were attacking the wrong house after failing to buy cocaine, a court has heard.

A family had to flee to safety following the attack by Joseph Henry Chapman, 23, of Cole Road, Bruton and Toby William Newton, 24, of West Hill, Wincanton, who appeared in the dock together at Taunton Crown Court before his honour Judge David Ticehurst.

But the pair were spared jail after the judge heard that the pair had worked to turn their lives around following the incident.

Man jailed for 9 years after carrying out ferocious attack

A tough read from the courts, this:

This attack was so ferocious that those who found the victim thought he had been killed.

The court heard Victor Anastasiu - a Romanian national - had been an alcoholic since the age of 12, after witnessing his father murder his mother at the age of six, and being raised in a Romanian orphanage.

He punched his victim to the ground before kicking and stamping on his head and slamming his head against the road four times.

Yes, we know - sadly as is depressingly usual, the CCTV image quality is poor.But this is a serious news story, with the police really needing public help to track down a man who has approached girls, aged just 16 and 17, in Yeovil town centre.
